Tekwar? Witchaven? They have source codes: https://lesbird.github.io/capstone/index.html

TekWar is a pretty bad game, and the Witchaven games are not that great either, so I think I'll pass

Fair enough

I need to give TekWar a go. Witchaven is a very bad Heretic clone that tries to be Hexen

The Source code for Noahs Ark 3D is also available

The Game is kinda amazingly funny, you have to admit

I got to level 3 before it started to become more appealing to cut my wrists. I have it in my brain that I ended up using Dosbox instead of using BuildGDX for some reason. Maybe to get the glorious William Shatner cutscenes working.

Duke Nukem Forever wasn't so bad really. At least it doesn't have the Matrix level of William Shatner's TekWar!!!

Given performance of Wolf4Amiga, it would be great to have OCS/ECS version as well, so A500(+)/A600/A3000/CDTV users could benefit. too. I tested NovaCoder's AmiWolf just recently on ACA620, but it's too slow to play. Of course ACA620 is not a speed monster, but I guess Wolf4Amiga would be way quicker (knowing the difference based on A1200). Nice to have dreams, of course I know how busy BSzili is and appreciate everything he did so far :-)

Unfortunately I don't have a suitable C2P routine that checks all the boxes: 2x1, 6bpl, ECS optimized, modulo & non-contiguous bitmap support, etc.

Jacques · 03 January 2024, 10:19

Not sure if they would be of any use and meet all needed criteria, but those C2P routines included in Gloom do support 2x1 for both AGA/ECS:

And these have even sources included:

I checked it, but that one requires contiguous bitmaps.

Jacques · 03 January 2024, 20:43

I see, thank you for checking it.

I'm curious, what's the reason these can't be provided?

It's a roll of the dice if you leave everything to the OS, I learned this the hard way. I know you can provide a custom bitmap, but I consider this port finished and I don't plan doing any significant reworks. If a drop in solution surfaces I can plop in with minimal changes that's a different story.
